1. Translation of the common Chinese text of the natives
Original text
Since Yin Zhongkan was in Jingzhou, he was very frugal. He often ate only five bowls of food and had no food left over. , the grains of rice fell off the plate, and they were picked up and eaten. Even if you want to take care of things, it is because of their true nature. Every disciple said: "Don't think that I was appointed to Fangzhou, because I have changed my mind in the past, but it is not easy for me now. Poor people, like ordinary scholars, how can they climb branches and damage their roots! You can save them."
Notes
Shuijian: Crop failure due to floods.
Five-bowl tray: Each set consists of a round tray and five small bowls contained in it.
To set an example for others. Things, people.
Abandon: Abandon.
Yi: Change.
Always pick it up and eat it. Although he did this out of intention to set an example, it was also due to his simple nature. He often said to his disciples: "Don't think that just because I am a governor of a state, you should think that I will abandon my usual will and integrity. Now, it is not easy for me to be in this position. Poverty is the duty of a scholar. How can I be on the top? Gao Zhi has abandoned its roots!" 2. Classical Chinese: When the people are poor, the mediocre people and children will be easily insulted.
Probably. When a scholar fails to succeed in his official career and is trapped in the countryside, mediocre people and even children can despise and bully him.
Consistent.
Perhaps when a scholar failed to succeed in his official career and was trapped in the countryside, mediocre people and even children could despise and bully him. Just like Su Jizi was not treated politely by his sister-in-law, Zhu Maichen was disliked by his wife. But once you get on the tall carriage drawn by four horses, with the flag leading in front and the high cavalry crowding behind, people on both sides of the street are shoulder to shoulder, looking and admiring, while those mediocre men and women are running in fear, dripping with sweat, Kneeling on the ground in shame, facing the dust raised by the wheels and horses' feet, I felt very regretful and secretly confessed my guilt. For such a small scholar, when he succeeded in the world, his high-spirited performance was compared to the glory of wearing brocade clothes by people in the past.
Only the Prime Minister Wei Guogong is not like this. Wei Guogong is a person from Xiangzhou. Our ancestors have been virtuous for generations and were all famous officials at that time. When Wei Guogong was young, he had passed the advanced examination and became a high official. Scholars across the country have probably been hearing about his legacy and looking up to his remaining brilliance for many years. The so-called generals and prime ministers, wealth and glory, are all what Wei Guoping should have. Unlike those poor scholars who relied on luck to succeed in a temporary incident, beyond the expectations of mediocre men and foolish women, and boasted about themselves in order to make them afraid. In this way, the tall flag is not enough to show the glory of Duke Wei, and the official uniform of Jade Gui is not enough to show the wealth of Duke Wei. He only pursues that his kindness will spread to the people, and his merits will extend to the country, so that the glory will be passed down to future generations and will be endless. This is the great ambition of Wei Guogong, and the scholars also place their hopes on him. Is it just to show off for a while and glorify the country?
During the Zhihe period, Wei Guogong once governed Xiangzhou as the military governor of Wukang, so he built a "Zijin Hall" in the back garden of the official residence. Later, poems were engraved on the stone tablets and presented to the people of Xiangzhou. The poem believes that it is shameful to take pleasure in calculating grudges and take pride in gaining fame. Don't take what your predecessors boasted about as an honor, but use it as a warning. From this we can see how Wei Guogong views wealth, and can his ambition be easily measured? Therefore, he is able to work hard for the royal family regardless of safety or danger, and his integrity remains the same. As for facing major events and deciding major issues, he can dress neatly, hold his hut upright, remain calm, and manage the world as stable as Mount Tai. He can really be called an important minister of the country. His great achievements are therefore engraved on Dingyi and spread in Xiange. This is the glory of the country, not the glory of one village or one area.
Although I did not get the opportunity to go to the Zhoujin Hall, I was honored to have recited his poems in private. I was happy that his ambition was realized, and I was happy to publicize it to the world, so I wrote this article article.
Ouyang Xiuji, the Minister of the Ministry of Official Affairs and the Minister of Political Affairs. 3. Diligent training Classical Chinese translation
Original text
The best way to manage life is to be diligent. Therefore, Shao Zi said: "The plan for a day lies in morning, the plan for a year lies in spring, and the plan for life depends on diligence." Although the words are close, the purpose is far away. It is not like human beings, who hate work but like to relax: they like to eat and wear clothes, and play in the sun to make them happy. If you use it as a farmer, you will not be able to plow deeply and easily; if you use it as a worker, you will not be able to count the days and achieve results; if you use it as a business, you will not be able to take advantage of the times and seek profit; if you use it as a scholar, you will not be able to stand firm and act with determination; you will eat in vain Resting between heaven and earth, it is a beetle! As heaven and earth change, they will never become old if they are renewed day by day. Therefore, the hinges of households will not be beetrooted, and the running water will not rot. I sincerely do not want them to remain safe forever. Human heart and strength, why not? When you work hard, you think, when you relax, you forget. This is the emotion of things. The sage of Yu the Great did not care about an inch of yin; the sage of Tao Kan did not care about the yin. How much more is the sage not as good as that? (Selected from "Collected Works of Hengzhai") The correct way to make a living is to be diligent, so Shao Yong said: "The plan of a day depends on the decision in the morning, the plan of the year depends on the decision of spring, and the plan of a lifetime depends on the decision of hard work. ." Although these words are simple, their meaning is profound! Unable to cope with the habits of ordinary people, they hate hard work and prefer happiness. They only care about eating well and dressing well in front of them, playing with time and wasting years. Let him be a farmer, but he cannot plow the soil deeply and remove all the grass; let him be a worker. , but cannot calculate the dates to seek the results of work; let him be a businessman, but cannot seize the opportunity and pursue profits; let him be a scholar, but cannot firm his ambition and work hard to practice. Living in vain in this world is just like a moth! The principle of heaven and earth transforming and nurturing all things is that they will not be corrupted if they are renewed every day. Therefore, the door shaft that rotates frequently will not be corroded, and the flowing water will not become rancid. God does not want all things to be at ease all the time! Isn’t it the same with human mind and power? When you are working hard, you will think carefully, and when you are at ease, you will be confused and confused. This is normal for ordinary people. A sage like Dayu still cherishes every inch of his time; a wise man like Tao Kan still cherishes every moment of his time; let alone those who are not as good as them in terms of talent and moral character? 4. Classical Chinese, Chang Tong, courtesy name Zizheng, a native of Linqiong, Qiongzhou, original translation
Song Shi Changtong Biography Original text Chang Tong, courtesy name Zizheng, a native of Linqiong, Qiongzhou, the son of Shaosheng Yushi Anmin.
He ascended to power and became a Jinshi in eight years. At the beginning of Jingkang Dynasty, in addition to Si Zhi of Dali, he refused to fight because of the enemy's difficulties. He appointed the Marshal's Mansion to be in charge of machine and writing, and searched for Dr. Taichang.
Gaozong crossed to the south and established the Zhejiang Commandery. In the fourth year of Jianyan's reign, the edict was issued: "Therefore, the censors Chang Anmin and Zuo Si admonished Jiang Gongwang for their strong and upright resistance, which angered the powerful ministers and ostracized them to death.
Now that their descendants cannot stand up for themselves, I feel very sorry for them. "He will be summoned to join you, and he will be the great minister.
In the first year of Shaoxing, he begged the county and got Liuzhou. Three years later, he was summoned back and discussed the disaster of cronyism for the first time: "Since Yuanfeng's new law, the party has been divided, and evil and good have been fighting against each other for fifty years.
Zhang Dun sang at the beginning of Shaosheng, Cai Jing After the war with Chongning, Yuan You's officials were chased and demoted to death, and they were deceived, causing trouble for the barbarians.
Returning favor to a private family does not know the respect of the court; repaying private grievances rather than taking care of the public discussion. I think that if you want to break up cliques, you must first understand right and wrong. If you want to know right and wrong, you must first distinguish between right and wrong. "
It said: "Cliques are also difficult to break." The same answer: "The knot of cliques is based on evil and good, but if you look at the reality of their words and deeds and observe the selfishness of their friends, you can see that evil is good. "Cliques are broken by divisions."
The previous chapter said: "Every gentleman and villain has a party." Tong also said: "A gentleman's party works together to benefit the country; a villain's party uses private interests to harm the public." .
It's the same if you're a party, but it's different if you're a member of the party. And like Yuan You's officials, they were slandered and killed, and then they were in trouble. Scholars still say that Yuanyou's government is not feasible, and Yuanyou's descendants cannot use it. "The emperor said: "I heard this argument."
The same reply said: "Yuanyou's officials cannot understand themselves before the disaster is over. . It can be said that right and wrong are still the same, because today’s scholar-bureaucrats such as Zongjing and Fu are making evil remarks.
How can public opinion come from such a party? The villain is confused." He also said: "Since ancient times, the mails sent by forbidden travelers must be in the wrong phase.
The Han Dynasty had northern and southern armies. Zhou Bo used the southern army to join the northern army to pacify the Liu family. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Sheng also used Shence troops to restore the capital. This was its effect. Today the country is fighting only with the soldiers of Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun.
Your Majesty has no confidants who are forbidden to travel, so you can prepare for emergencies. You can also learn from the changes of Miao and Liu in a short time. "In addition to serving the censor in the palace.
At that time, Han Shizhong was stationed in Zhenjiang, and Liu Guangshi was stationed in Jiankang. They wanted to fight with each other out of personal anger. The same tune: "Guangshi and others did not think about the kindness of treatment, but were arrogant and ruthless. What I am afraid of is that once there is an emergency, will they be able to talk to each other? To distinguish right from wrong and to uphold the national code.
In the past, when the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty had their faults, they still blamed the master. Now, the subordinates of the two armies praise Hua Wujuang and beg to be deposed first. "The above chapter shows the two armies.
Lu Yihao met again and discussed the ten matters together, and said: "Your Majesty did not intend to dismiss Yi Hao suddenly, isn't it because he has contributed to the restoration? I say that it is not the power of one Yihao that outshines others. Even if there is meritorious service, the prime minister takes care of things on behalf of heaven. Zhang Jiuling said that he does not reward meritorious deeds. "
Yi Hao resigned as prime minister. The Privy Council announced that Zhang Jun had lost his division in Sichuan and Shaanxi and had lost his land, so he ordered Jun to live in Fuzhou.
Tong and Xin Bing had the same likes and dislikes in Taiwan. The important thing is that the Jin envoy Li Yongshou and others came to see him and said: "First of all, if we strengthen the country's prestige, then peace and war will always be with me; if we insist on making peace, then peace and war will always be with us." "
Because of his words and military preparations, he said: "Today we have 200,000 troops. "The same tune: "Those who are afraid of others without hearing about two hundred thousand soldiers. "
The puppet Qi Dynasty ordered Zhang Ze to come back with 2,000 men from Suqian. Xu Zong, the defender of Sizhou, accepted them sincerely, and Han Shizhong heard about it. The imperial court ordered Shizhong to Queze and others, and the Tool Sect sincerely went there. < /p>
Tongqu: "Although the enemy has negotiated peace, the exchanges between the two realms are not prohibited. The fake Qi can still return it to the reception hall and set up rewards to attract our people. Now it is Queze, and people's hearts have been separated since then. Kuang Zongcheng raised a local tycoon and did not use the wealth of county officials. He recruited troops to support himself and defended the country. Now he is using weapons because he has been harmed to depress morale. This is not a policy. "
Those who came back from the imperial edict came to Huainan to exonerate Zongcheng. In the fourth year, except for the living man, Zhongshu Sheren, and the historian compiled the book.
First, Tongchang Shangshulun The two historians Shen and Zhe said: "The disciples of Zhang Dun, Cai Jing, and Cai Bian accumulated evil and slander, and added false accusations. They reversed right and wrong, and caused chaos and danger. During the reign of Shaosheng, Ze Zhangdun took Wang Anshi's private letters from "Ri Lu" and revised "Records of Shenzong"; after Chongning, Cai Jingjin burned "Records of Current Affairs" and "Calendar" and revised "Records of Zhe Zong" with his own will.
What is contained therein shows the theory of a temporary traitor and cannot be trusted by future generations. Gongwei Xuanren's virtue of protection cannot be tolerated. However, Cai Jue was greedy for heaven's merits, thinking of his own strength, generously framed the empress, and accepted favors from his own family.
When His Majesty came to the throne, he tasted the great success of the imperial edict to declare Ren'an the country, and ordered the Academy of National History to publish and revise it, and it was restored again. It is hoped that the historians will be carefully selected, and the "Records of Zhe Zong" will be compiled first, and when the book is completed, the "History of Zhu Mo of Shenzong" will be used for textual research and revision. "
The emperor accepted it. As a result, he ordered fellow practitioners to write it, and said: "This is because there are many rumors about Qing's family background, so there are facts. "
One day when he was doing something, the superior said in surprise: "I told Zhaoci that Xuanren had done a great job in protecting him. Zhezong could say it for himself. It was because there were people in the palace who were not aspiring to Xuanren, and they were falsely accused. slander. In order to clarify the matter, it is necessary to re-edit the "Records" to ensure the effectiveness of the work and to make it clear in the future life. This is why I chose you. "
Tongbeg used the sacred sayings obtained to publish it in the history museum, and it is still recorded at the end of the volume of "Records". Zhang Jun begged to restore his land property tax, and ordered one of his soldiers to hold the book Ruichang, but violated his order Guo Yan Shen, the prison of Yan Shen's relationship.
Later, he complained to the court and ordered Yan Shen to be dismissed. He was also granted the title of "Second Order". Youge was waiting to be promoted to Taipingguan in Jiangzhou. In the autumn of the seventh year, he was called back by the Minister of Rites.
He drove back to Lin'an in Jiankang. Tongzhi: "At the beginning of the rotation, we are far away from the Huaihe River. It is appropriate to send important officials out to guard the two Huaihe Rivers, inquire about people's health, check for the intrusion of officials, let the people cultivate, and do not collect taxes. After a few years, the fields were expanded, the people were satisfied, and the country was satisfied. "
Then he sent the privy envoy Wang Shu to inspect the teacher and begged to pay the concubines with this memorial. After inquiry, he also said: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are trapped in monthly piles of money, and the people are in dire straits. "
The above is to reduce the number of thousands of min. He also said: "Wu Jie's garrison is prosperous and profitable, but Xichuan's manpower is exhausted.
I tried to talk about farming in the year of Jieqing, and I would like to hear how much grain was accumulated and how much feed and transportation were reduced. Zhao Kai and Li Ji successively became the capital canals, and fed and transported various amounts one after another. It is necessary to hear it, and then pay attention to it according to the facts to relieve the people's power. ” He also said: “The country does not raise enough troops, but the problem is that they are concentrated without strength, and they are used for their own purposes without having the same purpose.
Today Han Shizhong is in Chu, Zhang Jun is in Jiankang, Yue Fei is in Jiangzhou, and Wu Jie is in Shu. They are far apart and have no connection with each other. Your Majesty now sends your ministers, kings and concubines to deal with border defences. It is appropriate for you to order your concubines to gather together with the generals and give instructions on the state of the country. They will work together to defend the enemy. Always order all the armies to join each other and act like snakes in the mountains. They are focused on the country, regardless of each other, and respond to emergencies. , all have the art of determination. ”
The imperial edict is given to the king and his concubines to present all the generals. In addition to the direct bachelor of Xianmo Pavilion, who knows Huzhou, he will be with Qi County. 5. The plan for life lies in diligence. Ancient Chinese translation
Those who manage life The principle is nothing more than hard work.
Therefore, Shao Zi said: "A day's deeds are determined by morning, and whether one is successful in one's life depends on whether one is diligent." "Although the statement is simple, the truth is profound.
The general situation of stupid people is that they like to be idle and hate hard work. They hope to eat well, wear well, and play all day long. This kind of person If you go to work as a farmer, you will not be able to cultivate seriously; if you become a craftsman, you will not be able to work closely every day; if you become a businessman, you will not be able to do business for profit; if you become a scholar, you will not be able to maintain integrity and act frugally.
If you live in this world and only know how to eat and drink, you are like a moth! The nature of the world needs to be renewed every day so that it does not look old. Therefore, the swinging windows will not be moth-eaten and the flowing water will not become rancid. Human beings really cannot live in contentment for a long time. Take some time off. What's not like this about human mind and behavior? Only when you work hard can you forget your duty.
A saint like Dayu still cherishes everything. A sage like Tao Kan cherishes every moment of his time, let alone those who are not as capable as Dayu and Tao Kan.
